Omni-Man Is Extremely Caked-Up In Mortal Kombat 1

Throughout , the life of the original Spider-Man, Peter Parker, is put in perilous jeopardy on numerous occasions. The web-shooting, wall-climbing superhero has seemingly never been so vulnerable in any of his previous bouts, including the showdown with the Sinister Six in Insomniac's first title. Despite the plethora of threats in, Peter is a remarkably resilient character, though at one point his toughness and durability are tested to the extreme. Though an iconic figure, he is far from immortal, a fact that has led many to wonder what happens to Spider-Man in — could he really be killed by Kraven or Venom?

Part of what makes our friendly neighborhood Spidey so special is his care and compassion for community. In Spider-Man 2, side quests reinforce some of the series’ guiding ideals: heroism isn’t always about taking down larger-than-life villains, like The Sandman. Sometimes, your challenges require a more thoughtful touch.

When you have a team like Insomniac Games working on a set of Marvel Comics characters, you might feel they would “connect” the two titles in various ways. With the release of Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and the very positive reaction to it, many expected a hint of what might come next with Marvel’s Wolverine, a game that we haven’t gotten any new details on in some time. To that end, there are no direct crossovers or “hints” of where Wolverine might be in this world or what his game might entail. According to the creative director for the projects, that was by design, but they are still “connected.”

's story features far more shocking deaths than the previous two entries in the series. From classic Spider-Man characters to beloved NPCs, nobody seems to be safe in Insomniac's latest superhero title.

Spider-Man 2 is chock full of references to other Marvel properties, as New York itself features locations such as the Avengers Tower, the Sanctum Sanctorum, and the Wakandan Embassy, all of which are references to The Avengers, Doctor Strange, and Black Panther. In fact, the latter even lets you throw up a wholesome Wakanda Forever salute outside of its doors as a tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman, but you'd better make sure you're playing as Miles Morales if you want to do it.

If there's one thing you can't criticise Insomniac Games for, it's a lack of comic book appreciation. Spider-Man 2 is absolutely full to the brim with comic book references, whether that be the dozens of suits paying homage to Spider-Man stories both old and new, or the inclusion of certain villains that have never been portrayed in interactive media before. Certain parts of Spider-Man 2's story are also very reminiscient of different comic book runs.

An accidental posting from Xbox might have revealed when gamers will get their hands on Omni-Man in Mortal Kombat 1! You’ll find the listing from Xbox in the tweet below, but in essence, the post on the official store page for the game on Xbox systems says that Omni-Man will be released on November 6th to those with “early access.” What precisely that means is up in the air, but regardless, we could be getting the Viltrumite warrior in the game sooner than expected. But before we go any further, it should be noted that NetherRealm Studios hasn’t confirmed this release date, and “leaks” like these have been misconstrued in the past.

Xbox spills the beans on when the Invincible villain joins the MK1 roster.

Marvel's Spider-Man 2 fans have realized that the game is missing a villain they expected to return from the first game.

Xbox seems to have accidentally confirmed Omni-Man's early access release date via the Mortal Kombat 1 store page, which reveals that he's coming on November 6.

Flint Marko, better known as the Sandman, has quite a few memories scattered around New York in . Marko's Memories are crystals protected by a horde of sand creatures. These crystals house the Sandman's memories and show up after completing the first two main story missions. Marko's Memories are similar to the Black Cat Stakeouts from the first game in that they teach Spider-Man something about his enemies.

In Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, Spidey is a firefighter, a city engineer, a one-man medical airlift, an open-source GMO chemist, and a protector of New York’s precarious bee community. But there’s one thing this Spider-Man is not: a cop.
